What are some tips to take good care of dwarf hamsters2007-11-24 22:16:35

I have two dwarf hamsters (both males) and want to take care of them as best as possible. I change their food and water daily and their water monthly. I also change their bedding weekly and make sure to spend lots of time with them. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Answers:

I think you should change their water daily...that's what i do with mine, because I read in a book that they need to have fresh water daily.

You can also give them cotton balls. i have a dwarf hamster, and I give hime cotton balls. He doesn't eat them, he starts tearing them with his claws and teeth, then uses it as a sort of nest...

Another thing is you could get them chew toys...You can get some wood chews at PJ's pet shop, that are good for their teeth...(and they're really cheap...)

If you don't have a ball for hamster yet, you should get one, because it allows them to run around in your room safely.

You can also buy them treats at PJ's pet shop, that add a bit of flavour to their regular diet...

You can give them carrots, as long as they're well washed and are not coming straight from the fridge.

Otherwise, you're doing just fine !

Why don't you search the internet, or get a book about dwarf hamsters? I bet they would provide a lot more information than on here.

humm Did you say two males in the same cage? Well if there not fighting I guess it's ok because they could kill each other.. Well anyway MAKE SURE you have a cage that they cannot get out because I have had many and they are perfect at escaping! ha ha and living in my couch!!
